Verse 8
(8) They are corrupt . . .—This, which is the Rabbinical rendering, is now universally abandoned in favour of another derivation of the verb. The Masoretic arrangement of the clauses may be also improved on:
“They scoff and speak of wickedness,
Of violence from their eminence they speak,”
where the first clause means, they speak mockingly of wickedness, or make a jest of sin.
Be the first to react on this!
